We first met Sara as a newly wed when she moved in next door to our family on Merri Lane. I remember the morning her first baby was born, we were leaving to go to school and work and the clock radio was blaring in their bedroom. They had left earlier and hadn't thought about the alarm. Our sympathy goes out to her family and especially to her brother Ed, who was a friend of ours in high school. God bless. Sunny (Meares) and Alena (Baskin)Pedigo.
